Suicide does not bring happiness. It brings sorrow to the ones who survive the deceased. We were happy and content when we came to this world. Let it be the way we leave this place. What happens in between happens at our will. Why dont we face it and earn our smile.

Truer words never said than what you said at the end of the poem. I agree so much. Although I know that when someone is in the pit of despair, it does not seem possible to ever be happy again, even for an instant. I am grateful that I have never been in that pit. A very good description of it in your poem, however. Harrowing.

Well written Anil.. Life is precious, even if one doesnt see its worth in difficult times, there are plenty others who see what we ourselves dont see. Hope should never be lost... I loved this one... :)

smriti, well said.. i always tell this to my friends.. its quite natural to feel dejected when u r low. but never make conclusions when u r emotionally disturbed. wait for the tide to calm and then think about it. glad u liked it :)

You've given a distinguished portait of the anguish & despair of a person with suicidal thoughts.Just how desperate must they feel when they see no other way out!!The worst thing in the world must be to feel so alone...That's why friends are so important and friendships should be cherished.

woaaa Sawan.. suicide is a crime! no one has rights to hurt people who love you so much and leave them behind alone to struggle...if one is suicidal, all one needs to do is talk about it..instead of keeping it within and ending up doing a foolish act... human soul is capable of bearing any pain..so survive and smile is the mantra :)

me went all philosphical thanks to your poem..

p.s. i am in love with the fishes in your aquarium in the sidebar, spent a good 10 mins playing with them.. :D

at first, i thought you are writing about girls slashing their wrists after a break up or something. you know, some stupid females have that practice? in my old schools? insanity personified, all of them.

It won't be far when we hear the newspapers making a big deal of the upcoming board.....THE BIGGEST REASON FOR STUDENTS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE...But I still don't get it...It is so easy....and after all it's just an exam..So what's all the hype???

very powerful words...i've been there, done that sorta deja vu for me though blades always SCARE me! Lols...even if everything else is ordinary in your blog, this one is a real GEM..So keep the good ones rolling dude..Cheers

suicide is a crime and many say it is a way out for the cowards, but it requires a lot of courage to cut oneself.. they arent cowards, why dont, I wonder, they have the courage to fight back with the problems..

richa, welcome here. maybe they dont really have the courage to face the pain of death. people many a times get blinded by emotions. they fail to see what lay ahead and they fail to think and realize the after effects. after cutting the vein, there would be a point [i believe] where they would look back and want to live again only to realize that they cant! i just wanted to show that suicide is not easy as any one would think and its equally painful. so why not face the fate :P

hey saw ur intw on pakistani spectator...good goingf course yes. The more I write, the smoother my thoughts become. It’s not about the quality of words used or the uniqueness of the plot, its all about how better could we express our self which determines our area of improvement. We express when we write and expressions are very important in today’s life. I believe my experiences with words have definitely gifted me with more clarity in my thoughts.:) Good to see someone putting the importance of blogging this way....congrats.......

cried out loud burning in my own ragethe innocence was gone from my now enigmatic facescared and cold I look back my wayonly to find my body being burned away.

Thought provoking lines Anil but actually I disagree with what you said in the end. Nothing happens at our will-it is always God's will, destiny has already been written...Many times, we don't get what we actually covet.For me, this has been the case most of the times.BUt you are right, suicide is no solution

Mithe, your words lead us to the subject most debated in our history! I believe destiny is one word coined by people who never had the guts to face the reality. When ever we are sad, we try to convince ourself that its not our mistake and its all destiny. You, who think a lot, shouldn't have said this. God is a belief which gives many comfort. I agree this very belief have gifted peace in many parts of the world. But, tell me, do you believe in religion? I dont. Cos if there is God in reality, I am sure He wouldnt want people to be divided in His name. So what is religion? It is a sub system, where in the ideology of God is re written touching sentiments of the people who wants to believe in it. Again, it is some thing which we the people built for our comfort. If you could put such an extreme amount of faith in so abstract an idea called God, why cant you try and put half the faith in the real physical idea of your Self and your Deeds? I still believe that what ever happens, happens on our will and circumstances would put shades on it. It doesnt mean that I could control my life and I dont believe that some supreme power is controlling mine and I am just a zombie. Yes, our thoughts are controlled by us and our deeds by our will. The result may or maynot depend on what we do, but think about it, it surely depends on what a set of people do, this set could include any one who lives on this world.
